' LABOR MISSION RETURNS HOI

W EUROPE

AID TO DANIELS MAY ENTER NAVY

Labor Leaders Say Europe is Watching America's Choice of Congressmen All "Ä Eyes on Voters.

NTTX YORK, Nov. l.-.nii"! Gomt'TJ, president of the American Federation of Iihor nnl chiirman of th AmcrKin labor mission. who arrived at r.n Atlantic port yesterday after a two month's tour of flr.land, France and Italy, last nlht iÄie(i a ftatemrit urvclnp: th nation to "follow the President and the president's advice at lean until after the triumphant conclusion of the war." Mr. Gompers enld that while the labor min'ion is not politically partisan, "following neither tho republican nor democratic party," members of the mlsaioa who returned with him, concurred In his appeal, fe:inc that the failure of tho people to support the president, "would be interpreted by the people of our allied countries as a weakening of the people of the United States," and "would put new encouragement and a new lease of Ufa Into the Germans ar.'d Autrianfl. Members of the mission who arrtved with Mr. Gompers were William Bowcn, Edsar Wallace, Feter Josephine and Sec'y Oyster. John I. Frey and C- 1 Baine remained in Farla to attend a conference on October 2 of the committee of the labor movements of the allied countries. Mr. Gompors left before the conference because of the death of his daughter in Washington. Explaining why the members of the mission felt that was "the paramount duty" of the people to support the president, Mr. Gompers Kai'l : "The spirit amon? all the people of our allied countries, from presidents, kinps and cabinets to jthe great masses, is tense In support of the policies, purposes and ideals pet forth by Pres't Wilson. They venerate him and have absolute confluence in the course he has pursued and the ideals which he has impressed on the consciences of all, even the soldiers and peopleb of derma ny and Austria. Note Was Master Stroke. "While haunt; a preat understanding and appreciation of all Hint the president has stood for in thi war they repard his last note to Austria as the master stroke. It rushed the spirit and morale of the soldiers and people of our two erifiny countries. Nothing could b of rentr injury to the United States and our nllie. in this war than the weakening of the people in their support of Fres't Wilson at this juncture." Speaking of the work of th mission in Europe, Mr. Gompers said it had been successful "far beyond our expectations." He said the messages of pood will, fympathy and cooperation carried to the workers of the allied countries were accorded "most heartily" and declared the people showed a determination to carry on the war to a triumphant conclusion.

DISLOYAL FEDERATION IN U. S. ORGANIZED

WAHINC.TOX. Nov. 4. Evidence that several organizations promoting disloyalty are federated, so that funds of one can assist propaganda of others, has been unearthed by the department of Justice. Officials today warned individuals or Interests asainst contributing to socalled "civil liberties," "liberty dfene." "popular consul." "1 eral advice" or anti-militaristic organizations unless they expect their contributions to bo used by other organizations which seek to hamper the protecution of the war. One of the principal federating agencies was operated until recentIv. officials said, by Hoger C. Baldwin of New York, who was sen tenced to a year's imprisonment for opposing the draft.

PRESIDENT ASKS

OF THE UTIDM

One Issue, 'Shall We Help or Hinder Chief Says Leader of Party Supporting the Man Whom Kings Fear. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 More appeals to the voters of the country were Issued last night by democratic and republican leaders, including Acting Chairman Cummlngs of the democratic national committee; Atty. Gen. Gregory, and Rep. Fess of Ohio, chairman of the republican congressional campaign committee. Mr. Cummlngs said that the men and women at home, "who enjoy the great privilege of suffrage, have the Fame responsibility resting upon them Tuesday that rests upon the soldiers who are fighting America'3 battles for democracy abroad." Only Ono Issue. "There is only one issue," he declared. "Shall we help or hinder the president. He has asked for a vote of confidence. Shall we give it to him. There Is not one of the allied countries England, France, Italy or Belgium that would not give Woodrow Wilson a vote of confidence at this crisis. Are we of the United States less grateful or appreciative. Under his leadership tho world is coming to democracy by fast leaps. Thrones are tumbling. Dynasties are' crumbling to dust Tuesday will give a word of cheer to the president. "In the final hour of the campaign certain political opportunists have s"'izc.l upon the president's war policies as an object of attack. They profess fear that the president's war aims will not result in a victorious peace. Separately and collectively they shout, 'Stop him' Stop him!' The news of the day discloses that the president's political critics, alone, are fearful of the success of his policies." Chairman Foss urged "every citizen who respects his rights to cast a ballot without official interference of the administration, which has virtually taken over direction of the campaign to continue the present control in congress." Hooter, Republican, Speaks. The democratic national committee tonight made public a letter written by Herbert Hoover, food administrator, and chairman of the Belgian relief commission, to Frederic R. Coudert of New York city, in which Mr. Hoover said: "T am for Pres't Wilson's leadership not only in t-e conduct of the war. but also In the negotiations of peace and afterward in the direction of America's burden in the rehabilitation of the world. There Is no greater monument to any man's

fought in the grand army of Frame genius than the conduct of negtla-

ther was a great-gre.it grand-ftlons with the enemv by the presi

dent. If the final overthrow and surrender of autocracy can be accomplished through the German and their allied peoples themselves the president will not on!y save the lives of a million American boys and countless inocent women And children, but will hav attained more complete victory and a mor permanent guarantee of ptace than by any other means."

ST. LOUIS. Mo., Nov. 4 If Charles I. Bastin, of Carbondale. ill., who recently joined th- marine corps, doesn't make a fighter of the flrpt degree it won't be because his ancestors failed to set him an example.

ETTn:i: V. DUNS poko too soon. Ho should have waited for the oongrvsslonal campaign. Then ho could have Mcppcd out In the Mine class with T. Roosevelt and Prof. W. Howard Taft, and have lcn forgotten xnidM the rumblings of their superior wrath. We would not call Ihetn edltionlst and traitors like Icbs. They have not been arrested, tried and eonvlcteiL Hut the difference letfen wlint tlicy havp said am! wtmt ho sahl Is one of dirfercuct? Jn tlie IK-doUil fnmi which they hae ixkcn rather than In their utterances. And yet tlioy woiulcr wliy luive .uiirxli ivt.s in Airor1cj! Wo wonder why, in some section of the txnintry, people were flowto IntloOc America's enirumx into the war, and move to Il.s support. Mefv-rs. Tuft and Hoovev elt, and Lcxle, and l'oindexter, etc., are telling them now that they were right. Tres't AVILson didn't Ret into the war riffht, he has done a bunsllnj; Jo?) all the way through, and now they have It that he is trying to bungle Iiis way out of it. Wo have been wrong, wrong, wrong, all tlie while, say these 'wise" ones. Herbert S. Iliclov, who sMke in the local high school auditorium early In the war, whom some people who heard him wanted to mob, nnd who was latcr'diciplincd down in Kentucky, talked nothing but patriotism and lojalty to America of the purest quality in comparison with some of the things these s;uierior gods of republicanism liavc been saying. Andrew Jackson Illokey is the thirteenth district eandidate for congress therefore, on a congressional ticket trailing national leaders who put him In the same la.vs with Debs and Higelow, only more so, and ask you to send him to Washington to legislate for the nation in a great eri-ds. They ask you to vote for I-dgar s. Anderson of Mlshawaka for the state senate u hen he ouht to Ik in an internment camp, for speaking much les.s disreiH.ctful of the war tliau thexe national leaders of the republican party have. 9 ELIXTIOX is tomorrow. The big issue of the la.st few days has been PreVt Wilson's apin-al for a democratic congress. The pur-lo-.e of the appeal was to get a c-ongress that he can work with und accomplish things with the least delay ossible, and which will be aetx'pted by the rest of the world, our enemies and allies, as an indorsement of what wc have already done, and of what we projHsc to do. Tliat is reasonable, isn't it? Won't you regard the election of a major republican house and senate as a repudiation of the president and his war policies? You know you will. You know, too, tht it is for tlie purpose of repudiation that tlie republican leaders have grown so dscperate in their effort to elect n republican senate and house. "Potgut" Taft, as Roosevelt called him in l'J12, and "Snarling Hyena Itoosevelt, as Taft called Koosevclt that same year, xire together on it now that Pres't Wilson Is worse tlian the kaler: that he has graeter autocratic pw'.r than Wilhelm, and is asking for more by his appeal to the voters: . "He wants a congress that will rseiond to his licck and call," they say in their Union league pronunelamcnto, but that reminds us: WHO INVILVTIII) Tili: "Hit; STICK" ANYHOW? WAS IT WILSON OH WAS IT ItOOSliYlILT? ANI WHO CAKKIi: IT to Tin: point or tiiumvtemnc; hlackmail? You mght ask "Untie Joe" Cannon, and recall the disembodied spirits of John V. Forakcr and Nelson A. Aldrlch, to testify. Kcmemhcr that when they luid the nerve to protest ujaiiist T. It., then presltlcnt, Iepsltlng $110,000,000 with J. Pierpont 3Iorgan, to subsidize him into calling oft a ianic whlr-fi ho had created in 1007, in order to crush I'. Augustus 1 1 lenze, Itoosevelt told them to shut up to "a frazzle" and they did. You can't find anywhere on record, or unrecorded, nn instance where Woodxow Wilson ever threatened to go to the newspapers with scandal stories to whip congressmen into line, as did Itoosevelt- nor where lie lias used tlie patronage club to impress or brite congressmen into line as did Taft. Or course, tlmt was Itoosevelt and Taft, and anything that the "Ourselves and ;od' do is all right; same as it was all right for William McKinley, then president, to take tlie stump and plead for a rcpuolican congress in lbUS. at the close of the Spanish-American war, and for Harrison, and Itoosevelt, and Ilevcridgc, and all republicans to hack him up but a crime now, and autocratic, for Pres't Wilson, ami the democrats, to even hint at it. Hut IT you want a sieciinen of their oing on" half-cocked, if that means anything- unusual in their case, a little analysis of their Union league joint shot at aircraft production, will serve to illustrate. It wouldn't have lecn a bad Idea for Teddy end Taft to have consulted Mr. Charles Kvans Hughes before attemtlng to advise the voters of the country on that subject- Tliey said: "The republicans voted six hundred and forty millions for aviation to build airplanes, without u single limitation as to the manner or method of its evlenditure. A senate commitU"c has deplored the waste and failure in the use of tliat sioncy.' That was at noon. That night tlo Hughes reiort was made public showing tliat wonderful committee had tecn super-apprehensive, and hud talked considerable through t its hat. The local republican organ, same day as the Teddy-Taft communique, also said: "If some of the gambling fraternity want a safe bet, why not wnger something that the aircraft rcIort will not be nuulc piddle prior to election?' Cilad to see them admit there is a gambling fraternity here, but why 1k1i1 up the report? The only crookedness found in It was that of Col. K. A. Deeds, a republican ringleader of Ohio; likewise with Lieut. Col. George W. Mixer, and Lieut. Col. J. G. Vincent, while Second Lieut. S. It. Vrooman, jr., doesn't seem to know what he Is. Of course, make it public. Why wait? Yon can always deiend

upon it where there U ''grafting" ujon the government to K induletl, or arrangements for -sjecial privilege" or "advantage" through the misuse of oiliila 1 position, the republicans will le in on it. WA ST1 1 ? Judse Hughes didn't seem to find sc very much faste, at least, in comparison to the $0l0,0io,0f.o that the brilliant !ciiatc coiiimJttco asserted luvd leen wasted. lie doent ecn ;;o wild over the few mistakes, and Instead of wanting to hite the heads oit from Heeds. Mixer, Vincent and Vrooman, he leaves them to le dealt with ty military process. In fact. $170.000,000 of that SulO.OOO.OoO k still In the public trca. ry, though spoken for hy contracts which may neer need In carried out, should the war scon lc over unless the republicans set control of c-omrross and insist upon spending it through their republican friend. Jut for the sake of getting rid of it. "Grafters!" Who are the grafters?" Not a slnsle democrat and not a single presidential nppointee to the aircraft lard, republican (r democrat, Is "stung." Clawing the air for an Issue, eh? INCIDENT to which as the campaign comes to a close, we think "Kory (IrandiKi, as he signs himself, wilting to the Iouisvillc CourierJournal, passes on the situation, particularly with reference to T. H., the best that we have seen it. The Oyster Hay man, you know Is terribly exercised alwiut "after tlie war," along with the rest, for which "Foxy Grandpa" prcscriles: "As an 'after tho war' measure I would recommend that wc take Teddy and put him in one end of a steel cage with the kaiser In the other, with a partition of bars between them, and putting the cars on wlKids drag it to the center of darkest Africa. Then I would require tluit Teddy cuss Wilson twelve hours each day for the rest of ids life, which would bo heaven for Teddy and heaven for the kaiser.' You're only lialf rlzbt, "Poxy." Why not require Teddy to say something good of Wilson, say once an hour, for twelve hours each day, with sprinklings of praise for seasoning. In that case your heavens would dsecend into hells, u least for Teddy. The kaiser, we imagine, might le somcwliat relieved by his sense of humor If he has any, for Teddy pniLsing any other president than himself sure would be amusing. The object, we take It, of the "partition of bars" Is, to keep the two ''Myself and Gods" from fighting over which of them is God's suicrior. GI7T your mind llxed then on this. It answers all that tlie railers at the wliite house liave liad to say, and it is not from us. We quote it from the Springfield, .Mass., Republican, and for the benefit of those of the g. o. p. who want to believe that because tho president doesn't want a congrses of "eoiIerheads" "pro-war but anti-admluLstration," he has cast reflections upon them all. They need not feel so unless they indorse the conduct and antics of tlie "copiK-rheads," n which case, they, like the German people who indorse their kaiser, arc no better tlian what they indorse. Itcmcinber this is from the Sprhiglieid, Mass., Republican (from Sen. Lodge's own state) : "Mr. Wilson la still a war president. The war Is by no maens ended, and no ono today can say surely when it will be ended. Is he not entitled, on his war record alone, to a vote of confidence? The French aro not demanding' tlie head of Premier Clemcnceau, nor aro the IJritisli demanding the head of Premier Lloyd George; Mr. Wil- m Ls as much entitled to a vote of confidence by tho people as they aro. "If a war president be judged by results, what must be the verdict? Mr. W ilson surely made no mistake when he selected Gen. Pershing to command the American armies in IVancc. lien. Pershing- Is now everywhere conceded to he a success. The I lavas news agency of Paris, the leading French news distributor under government supervision, in a survey of the military situation on Skin. 22 last, credited to tho Americans the "establishment of tin? balance on the western front" in favor of the allied armies. No one can deprive Mr. Wilson of the indisputable facts tliat he selectcd Pershing, and tliat Marshal Foch was largely his creation in the supreme command, and that 2,000,000 American soldiers have been sent overseas to France, and that, in case the Germans liad captured Paris and won tho war, the president of tho United States would have been held by his critics to have been tho rcsimnsiblo cause of tho world catastrophe. Nor can It be forgotten that Mr. Wilson's declaration of war aims in the dark days cf last w Inter and spring steadied the suffcrimr masses of Labor in Kngland and 1 Vance and kept them true and loyal to their governments as against suggestions of an early peace. "It cannot Io doubted that tho American people will te just in their treatment of a president who thus far luis not failed In his tremendous task in a supreme world crisis, but who has already led the nation to heights of international prestige which It has never lcforc been Its fortune to command.'

tho "boss" happened around when one of the cars was "being filled," and he spent the rest of the day refunding money to those who supposed their tanks had been replenished. In dlsguest, the grocery' clerk resigned.
